BEAST began in the winter of '04. It started with Bullet, Output, and Grizzley in a backyard. However, the team quickly grew as more friends began joining (CFH, Supertrucker, etc.). Then some unknown faces began coming aboard (Vasili, Shell, Hollywood, etc.). The summer of '05 was a busy time for BEAST, with practices every other week, involving up to a dozen members at a time. Bullet was the CO and Output took over as XO. Bullet primarily dealt with leadership on the field while Output handled more of the leadership off the field. Bullet and Output then attended Operation: Distant Horizon in November of '05. After that, BEAST was somewhat inactive over the winter of '04 with little practicing. Then, in the spring of '06, Output decided to leave, citing personal reasons. His leaving prompted quite a bit of criticism from some of the other BEAST members. This was primarily due to the fact that as soon as Output left, the 08th Expeditionary Unit, another Ohio airsoft team, recruited Output. Bullet quickly realized that he needed a new Executive Officer. After much debate and a team vote, Shell was elected the new XO. BEAST started becoming strong once more over the '06 season under the new leadership. Then, in the middle to end of that year, Bullet was able to contribute less to the team as his personal life became more demanding. Shell began feeling strain in leading the team. After befriending another Ohio team, Taskforce 216, Shell, Hollywood, and Xen Garden left BEAST to join the other team. Left shorthanded and lacking members, Vasili stepped up as the new CO of BEAST. He enlisted the help of Output, who was still a member of the 08th EU, to rebuild the website and start this forum. BEAST is now undergoing a big restructuring. Vasili is doing a great deal of recruiting to try to bring BEAST back to a decent shape. Where will this lead? With Vasili's perseverance, the only place for BEAST to go is up.
